I'm shocked that after all this time being absent, I still had roughly 1 view per minute during the first hour of upload. To most that's nothing, but to me personally, it means a ton! Still having support after all this time is an incredible feeling. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has watched or commented. I don't finish work till the early hours so my replies will be delayed, but every comment will be read and appreciated! Thanks again. Love to all
I was thinking that as well - you still have a pretty decent view count! I'm not attending that show sadly. Take your time but please come back eventually! 👍
We'll be happy for any videos you can manage - a collection tour would be awesome! You're a good dad, enjoy your family, especially while they're at such fun ages.
So good to see you Sam, I’ve always looked forward to your videos, you have a special way about you that makes an enjoyable, informational video that just makes a person want to listen to you over and over ! I definitely believe in taking care of your family it’s something everyone should do for sure ! I’ll be keeping my hopes up that you can still do some videos even if it’s about your roaches or your Rubber Duckies ! Prayers for you and your family to have health, wealth and happiness.
I recently started keeping phasmids and your videos have helped me a lot, i like them so much and you always have such a great energy. You are a great dad, hope you can get back in business sometime soon. Greetings from mexico
Thank you for the update Sam. Such a shame you had to downsize your collection, but completely understandable. I hope in the future you'll have the opportunity to have the dream collection. Thank you for all the quality content over the years, plenty of videos to go back and rewatch. I'll look forward to your return. Wishing you all the best. 🙂
I only just discovered you and your channel(s) very recently, because I got some stick insects and isopods...but I will always cherish your large catalogue of videos and amazing advice! Take care, and hopefully you will return sometime🙂..thank you for everything you have done for invert noobs like me!🥰
I can understand where you are coming from Sam. I first got tarantulas when I was in my 20's, but gave them up for a while, while my youngest child was growing up. I had the odd few through the years, but waited until my youngest son grew up and he eventually left home. Straight then, I went back to the hobby of keeping and have enjoyed it since. So life and parenting does end up coming first, due to the amount of time it can take, so cutting back is a reasonable idea, while you want to spend time, watching your youngest especially grow up.
Sam dude, it’s a shame to see you reduce your collection down but family first always!! As you mentioned in the video one of those you inspired in the hobby is myself! Can’t begin to tell you how much of a nervous wreck I was when I was grabbing those dairy cows off you all those years ago! Can only thank you and others for getting me to where I am in the hobby today. We’ll be here waiting with open arms for your return! 💚
Is Adam from the invertibarian not on RUclips anymore? I just tried looking for his channel and nothing came up Edit: nvm I was spelling the name wrong 😑
